Jackson v StateDecember 13, 2000No. 73,033 Concurring opinion by Judge Mansfield Links to other opinions in this case: Majority opinion by Presiding Judge McCormick Concurring opinion by Judge Meyers Concurring opinion by Judge Johnson IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. 73,033 JAMES LEWIS JACKSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS ON DIRECT APPEAL FROM THE 178TH DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY Mansfield, J., delivered the concurring opinion. C O N C U R R I N G O P I N I O N I do not agree that victim impact evidence is relevant with respect to the future dangerousness special issue. However I do not believe that the argument by the prosecution at punishment that the jury should consider victim impact evidence in the context of the future dangerousness special issue harmed appellant, given the circumstances of the offense and given the other evidence introduced at appellant’s trial. Accordingly, I can only concur with respect to the majority’s disposition of point of error eleven and otherwise join the opinion of the Court. DELIVERED DECEMBER 13, 2000.
